[drowsy rain]

This matador is gonna go crazy on the flint

[finite heron]

Real

[finite heron]

(It doesn't trigger)

[dire crater]

[drowsy rain]

No I know

[finite heron]

Matador is like

Super situational

Actually

It does trigger

Peak

Bætrö

[iron vigil]

Some kind of sick joke

[ancient gyro]

the answer is clear

[ancient gyro]

o

[dire crater]

best choice ever

also

who you guys think its best

STM or baron

[finite heron]

Who retextured all of them

[ancient gyro]

one is actually usable in your standard gs runs

[eager prawn]

Lucky Cat is definitely legendary joker imo

[finite heron]

FOUR SHOWMANS

Who are you showing

[woven spire]

sell lucky cat, 5 showmans

NOW

[finite heron]

Also what are you doing on erratic deck

[woven spire]

why not

[eager prawn]

Just bored

[finite heron]

Real

[finite heron]

Real

[eager prawn]

What am I supposed to with four showmen?

[woven spire]

be happy

it’s fun

[finite heron]

Make the show slightly better

[woven spire]

cmon

[finite heron]

5 eternal poly chrome showmen

[woven spire]

5 gay showman

[finite heron]

You can get 6

If you get ante matter

7 if you are on black deck

[woven spire]

one hell of a a show

[rigid mesa]

What action do i take here

[finite heron]

Imagine 7 poly chrome eternal showmen

[narrow scroll]

eight if you get a negative invis joker

[finite heron]

What's castle at

[finite heron]

Truee

[woven spire]

whats castle on

[rigid mesa]

120

[finite heron]

But can't you keep going then

[woven spire]

sell that mf

[finite heron]

Or no because that's not how negatives work

[rigid mesa]

Thats 60² per hand minimum

[fiery nymph]

what do you guys think is the hardest ante 8 boss on gold stake

[rigid mesa]

And rising

But ok

[narrow scroll]

natural negative?

[frank warren]

more showmen = higher odds of getting another cat

[narrow scroll]

vessel

[woven spire]

i’m pretty sure wtv you get from that invis will be better

[eager prawn]

I'm not good at calculus T.T

[finite heron]

Depends but CRIMSON HEART I HAVE A BEEF WITH

[woven spire]

violent vessel

no doubt

[narrow scroll]

crimson heart hitting my bones on the last hand ❤️‍🩹

[lofty vault]

Lowkey pair build coded

[finite heron]

Crimson heart disabled all of my blueprints

[fiery nymph]

vessel is pretty rough

[woven spire]

vessel is the only counter to pairs rn

[fiery nymph]

crimson heart fucks up the run a lot

especially if you need every joker

[lofty vault]

If I had gotten vessel I would have one shot it

[cloud sinew]

eye and needle are pretty bad too

[jaunty onyx]

nat negative idol

[finite heron]

Those aren't ante 8 though

[fiery nymph]

i sometimes have trouble with verdant leaf but its minimal

[knotty zodiac]

a7 eye 💔

[fiery nymph]

yeah we talking about ante 8

[woven spire]

Forgot those, but yes

[woven spire]

well it depends

[lofty vault]

Good if you can build twords it but that's gonna take a while

[lofty vault]

If it was a higher stake then no absolutely not

[woven spire]

we talking about gold

[fiery nymph]

amber acorn and cerulean bell just never affected my run and they probably never will

[finite heron]

I think most of the time I just power through without selling anything

[lofty vault]

But I was able to score 600k in one hand and for black that's all it takes

[finite heron]

Amber with Blueprint is such a pain

[cloud sinew]

you should specify showdown boss then, i interpreted "ante 8" as non-endless, as that's what it's commonly used to mean

[fiery nymph]

i should probably learn my scoring more because most of the time i think i can do this

[lofty vault]

It likes blueprint

[finite heron]

How many idols do you need to na inf

[woven spire]

amber acorn is fine 80% of the times

even with brainstorm

[lofty vault]

At least one

[woven spire]

easiest one

[fiery nymph]

oh okay sorry

[cloud sinew]

bell is mostly a problem for straights, which means its not an issue for pair runs really.

[lofty vault]

Pair stays undefeated

[finite heron]

Brainstorm is easier to use than blue print in acorn

[woven spire]

much easier

[fiery nymph]

bell just hasnt been a problem for me because i run pairs and two pairs

[finite heron]

I had like 3 money jokers

I can't find the print

[lofty vault]

So pair gets the duo for 2x mult but high card doesn't get the singular for 1x mult?

[fiery nymph]

i usually hold my bp before they get shuffled

[woven spire]

Cryptid shi

[finite heron]

That works?

[ebon condor]

bell only matters for pairs if youre running some dumb shit like flowerpot splash

[cloud sinew]

yes

[finite heron]

Bruh

[fiery nymph]

yeah just hold it the second you click the boss

[cloud sinew]

you can hold a joker before it gets shuffled

[lofty vault]

If you enter the blind then grab a joker before they shuffle you'll hold onto it

[fiery nymph]

but its only one joker

but it helps

if ur copying

[cloud sinew]

acorn has the most counters out of any boss

there are like 15 bugs that help against acorn

[lofty vault]

Then just play some bullshit and figure out who's who

[woven spire]

that’s why is easy to use brainstorm, you just hold the joker you want to copy and put it in leftmost

[eager prawn]

Just play for fun tough

[finite heron]

I tried to do acorn with ancient joker with blue print and that was the most rough boss of all te

[knotty zodiac]

good luck finding the acrobat xD

[lofty vault]

The one benefit it has over blueprint

[cloud sinew]

poly brainstorm is better than poly blueprint when copying +mult, for most score

[lofty vault]

Just look for who's doing nothing

[woven spire]

nah

[lofty vault]

The 2 benefits it has over blueprint

[wary zodiac]

blueprint

negative

[fringe nebula]

yeah this seed isn't that bad

i just did some dumb shit and lost my 6 winstreak

[wary zodiac]

natural negative blueprint

[knotty zodiac]

whats the error

[lofty vault]

Yeah sure close enough

[wary zodiac]

food

[fringe nebula]

econ issue

[lofty vault]

Be born into a rich family?

[unreal topaz]

you can also check the collection if you forget what ancient joker is on that round

[knotty zodiac]

didnt greed rebate in enough hands?

[cloud sinew]

same with castle, and rebate, and idol

[lofty vault]

And fool

[cloud sinew]

doesnt work with To Do List though

To Do List's target isn't shared across copies

[rigid mesa]

Well

o7

[woven spire]

that’s so weird

wonder why thunk made it like that

[lofty vault]

Yeah unfortunately my 5 to do list runs aren't very good

[lyric karma]

if my most played hand changes mid round, does the ox updates its ability?

[cloud sinew]

no

[lofty vault]

No

[knotty zodiac]

no

[cloud sinew]

Ox's target hand is the most played hand when it appears

[lofty vault]

Selects it when you beat the previous boss

[rigid mesa]

Can I get an o7 chat

[lofty vault]

Have a fish

[rigid mesa]

Dont you dare fish react me

[lofty vault]

It's not so shrimple

[woven spire]

why did u skip

[rigid mesa]

Negative tag

[lyric karma]

son 😭

[rigid mesa]

If that wasn't the boss this wouldve been quite shrimple tinse I have w negatives

[woven spire]

“oh a boss that will completely obliterate me, let me get a negative”

[fiery nymph]

alright guys i gs ghost and yellow deck

whats next

[cloud sinew]

blue

[fiery nymph]

okayy

[woven spire]

Black.

[fiery nymph]

ive heard horror stories

[woven spire]

lmao

[fiery nymph]

fahhh i actually have to do the stakes again

blue deck better be fun to scale with

im imagining?

[rigid mesa]

Well what if it was a negative luchador

Your argument fell apart now huh

[woven spire]

the entirety of blue is fun

[fiery nymph]

i think im gonna abuse grimbo

[woven spire]

What.

[fiery nymph]

like

[woven spire]

what did he do

[cloud sinew]

you wouldve seen the luchador without taking the skip anyway

[fiery nymph]

that sounded wrong didnt it

[woven spire]

Kinda

[rigid mesa]

Yeah but then I wouldve had to sell one of my jokers and I cant do that

Maybe invis

[lofty vault]

Chat what deck should I play on besides yellow, ghost and plasma

[rigid mesa]

Plasma

Or yellow

[woven spire]

red

[rigid mesa]

If neither of those def ghost

[fiery nymph]

fish bomh

[lofty vault]

Yorik rebate deck

[woven spire]

yeaahhh

[lofty vault]

Banner

The other one

Maybe

[rigid mesa]

Abandoned drck

[lofty vault]

Alrighty so red deck orange stake

I got madness shop 1

Dead

Xmults are bait

Oooooo shop 1 stuntman now that's a good one

[fiery nymph]

wow poly superposition from judgement

[pale wolf]

im made of meat

[lyric karma]

on ante 1

[lofty vault]

Ok so I got an egg and dagger

At what sell value do I destroy the egg

Currently at 11

[pale wolf]

no meat in balatro tho

only eggs

[proven gulch]

after the first temperance you get or if you're doing bad in scoring

[lofty vault]

Already got a temp

[proven gulch]

you're over interest?

[fringe nebula]

this has to be the dumbest thing i've done lmao

[lofty vault]

29

But shop has a blank

Shop before the boss

[proven gulch]

Lmao

[lofty vault]

Mostly ass jokers!!!!

(only 2 of them)

Ooooo grimbo and constellation

[fringe nebula]

that aside

negative jj looks so dope

[lofty vault]

This egg is being fed the second I find another temp

I ACCIDENTALLY FED MY CONSTELLATION TO THE DAGGER

[cloud sinew]

skill issue

[red sparrow]

This feels really op to me

[cloud sinew]

its strong, yes

its not overpowered because of how hard it is to get

[lofty vault]

I'ma just close balatro real quick..

[fiery nymph]

to be fair its hard to get

[red sparrow]

It’s my first time getting it

[lofty vault]

1 in 15 chance then you have to find it

Kill the banana

[fiery nymph]

you have to make a gros micheal go extinct and then this thing goes into the joker pool

so it takes time

[red sparrow]

It just seems like a rarer more op gros michel

[cloud sinew]

jokers are allowed to be better than other jokers

also they cant both be in the pool in the same time

[vivid warren]

Do y'all think Showman is worth picking up here? The dream would be another Sock & Buskin. (Ante 10, throwing out ~0.25 billion per hand with level 20 flushes.)

[fiery nymph]

especially in this case, its meant to be better

[lofty vault]

Just gotta remember don't keep my line up like this until after I hit enter blind

[lofty vault]

What's smear doing

Oh ancient

[fiery nymph]

😭

[lofty vault]

Lowkey I think it's bait

Maybe the baseball card?

[fiery nymph]

no

[lofty vault]

Seems like you die if you take it

[hollow prairie]

rich get richer challenge

[fiery nymph]

bbc puts in too much work!!!

[lofty vault]

No bull? No boot?

[red sparrow]

Does Mr bones work on the ante 8 boss blind?

[lofty vault]

Yea

But you're a coward

[red sparrow]

Phew

[hollow prairie]

rip

[red sparrow]

It’s a violet vessel

And I suck

[vivid warren]

Probably, but I'm not sure how what else I might pick up that could allow me to survive into the higher antes. I won't die for a couple of antes at least.

[lost vault]

bludstone is not worth copying here

[rotund cloud]

What all stakes do?

[lost vault]

on average ~5x mult vs guaranteed 8x from photo

[vivid warren]

Kill vampires.

[hollow prairie]

I have blind faith in bludstone

[lost vault]

it says ingame

read

[rotund cloud]

I dont have It all

[lost vault]

then you dont need to knw oyet

[rotund cloud]

Tell me

[fiery nymph]

💔

[lost vault]

play the damn game!!!

[rotund cloud]

I do

Im on grenn

Green

[lost vault]

okey

[rotund cloud]

What is the next one

[lost vault]

you'll see when you get there

[fiery nymph]

after that you have black stake where you get eternal jokers

[rotund cloud]

Oh

What after

Black

[fiery nymph]

blue stake which takes a discard

[red sparrow]

HOLY SHIT I JUST TRIPLED MY BEST HAND FROM 80K TO 240K

[rotund cloud]

Like each round?

[earnest pelican]

It's -1 from the start

[fiery nymph]

ur just gonna have 2 discards from the start unless stated otherwise

[rotund cloud]

Oh ok

Less discard

Got it

[fiery nymph]

ya

[rotund cloud]

What is next

[fiery nymph]

purple

its the same difficulty spike as green

[rotund cloud]

Oh

[fiery nymph]

all the antes scale even faster

[rotund cloud]

Me watching the blinds going up to 2k on ante 2

Or more

[earnest pelican]

You'll have a lot of fun when the Violet Vessel eventually makes the score requirement 1.2 million lol

[vivid warren]

Classic.

[fiery nymph]

genuinely threatening 😭 🙏

[fringe nebula]

time to supercharge my campfire

[rotund cloud]

fear

[lofty vault]

I accidentally daggered my constellation

[fiery nymph]

after purple its orange stake

[lofty vault]

Good bye my 50 dollar egg

[fiery nymph]

which adds perishable jokers

[quaint stag]

the who

[rotund cloud]

What that Joker do

[earnest pelican]

Perishable jokers perish after 5 rounds

[fiery nymph]

yea

[rotund cloud]

It Will Destroy itself right?

[fiery nymph]

nah

just debuff

you can sell it after

[earnest pelican]

Nope, keeps a red X on it and is debuffed yeah

[rotund cloud]

Uh

[earnest pelican]

You can actually get stickers on debuffed jokers

[rotund cloud]

Oh then It Goes back

[earnest pelican]

Nope it stays dead

[fiery nymph]

yea

[earnest pelican]

But you can sell it

[fiery nymph]

its gone

[quaint stag]

sometimes its better to keep a debuffed joker for temperance value

[rotund cloud]

Who killed my joker

[cloud sinew]

and if it's showman

[quaint stag]

also i believe it contributes to abstract value

[lofty vault]

Chat I might have found an on seed

[quaint stag]

even while debuffed

[earnest pelican]

Or some jokers actually work with debuffed ones too. Baseball Card works with debuffed uncommons iirc. Abstract keeps the value.

[fiery nymph]

but like for example if you have an egg that scales you can still keep that for temperence and whatnot even if its debuffed

[lofty vault]

Is this bait

[cloud sinew]

it also still gives xmult if you have baseball card

[cloud sinew]

no

[earnest pelican]

I've taken tons of perishable uncommons just for baseball card

[lofty vault]

Mime tho

[quaint stag]

the more you know lmao

[rotund cloud]

Baseball, huh

[cloud sinew]

how is mime better, you have nothing for it

[fiery nymph]

baseball card is my GOAT

[dire crater]

"Shoot the mo"

The kid called mo:

[lofty vault]

Speculative mime

[cloud sinew]

blueprint is less speculative

[rotund cloud]

Next stake is?

[cloud sinew]

gold

[fiery nymph]

gold!!!!

it adds rentals

[rotund cloud]

The gold

[quaint stag]

awww man

[cloud sinew]

adds rental jokers, they cost $1 but they take $3 from you every round

[fiery nymph]

rentals just leech on ur money it makes using them kinda miserable

😭

[cloud sinew]

i love rentals

if they didnt cost $1 theyd be miserable to use

[rotund cloud]

Bootfication nerf

[fiery nymph]

true...

[fringe nebula]

supercharged

[terse dock]

Fart Smeller what do you mean speculative that's a Fiddlesticking negative blueprint

[lyric karma]

Doesnt have more reactions cuz gold is hard to find

[fiery nymph]

the 1$ can be sometimes helpful but its still an overall nerf imo

[earnest pelican]

Oh also doesn't Gift Card still give $1 to debuffed jokers

[quaint stag]

perhaps the real gold was the friends we made along the way

[lofty vault]

Using my blueprint on a perishable ice cream cuz I have absolutely nothing

[rotund cloud]

Also eternal Joker cant be Destroyed Or sold?

[lyric karma]

true true

[cloud sinew]

yes

[quaint stag]

cant be destroyed or sold

[terse dock]

Yes even with madness

Dagger doesnt scale off of it though

[quaint stag]

madness becomes a genuine demon on black stake and above

[rotund cloud]

Ank

[terse dock]

Ehhh

Ehhhh

[fiery nymph]

a few jokers get better in gold stake compared to white stake

[terse dock]

Its situational

[fresh pebble]

What do I cooy

[cloud sinew]

it can't be destroyed

from anything

[lyric karma]

That would be so broken

[earnest pelican]

$1 Rocket early on is a good investment, probably my favorite early rental. Burnt is close though.

[rotund cloud]

Yesh

Yeah*

[fringe nebula]

my favorite rental joker is probably rental bean

[rotund cloud]

Inf joker

[terse dock]

Ehhh only if its an egg or if you have a gift card otherwise its in the range of every other scaler

[lyric karma]

Elaborate

[delicate tide]

Prolly rental cola for me

[quaint stag]

if you have eternals madness is really good

[rotund cloud]

Does It copy negative jokers

[earnest pelican]

Rental Cola is goated

[terse dock]

If you get good eternals

[delicate tide]

Doenst copy the negative property

[cloud sinew]

ankh removes negative from the copy

same with invis

[fresh pebble]

What do I copyor am I cooked

[rotund cloud]

It would be so op If It kept the negative

[vivid warren]

I take it all back. Showman, I love you. Double Sock & Buskin and Ancient Joker, let's go!

[delicate tide]

One on mime Mayb cause you got no red seal? Id lokw put it into a calc

[fringe nebula]

you can buy rental bean for $1, and you can find the hand you want or get the blue seals and gold cards you want

sell it for $1

[rotund cloud]

What is that strange joker

[delicate tide]

Yo Ami blind where’s the second ancient joker

[cloud sinew]

most non-eternal jokers are buffed in some way by being rental

[terse dock]

in what position

[fresh pebble]

I'm gambling

Come on

[rotund cloud]

Last

[fresh pebble]

YESSSS

[fresh pebble]

Thank you

[quaint stag]

smeared joker?

[terse dock]

Smeared Joker

[fresh pebble]

[lofty vault]

Bull fucking shit

[rotund cloud]

The one that looks like its dying

[cloud sinew]

lexical ambiguity be damned. they mean that they have two sock and buskins but only one ancient joker

[rotund cloud]

I think

What It does

[quaint stag]

smeared joker makes hearts and diamonds count as the same suit and spades and clubs count as the same suit

[terse dock]

Clubs and Spades become the same suit and Hearts and Diamonds become the same suit

[quaint stag]

yeah its smeared

[lofty vault]

Shop 1 nat negative blueprint AND I DIE TO THE FUCKING WALL CUZ I FOUND 0 + MULT JOKERS

[rotund cloud]

Woah

How You unlock

[cloud sinew]

thats a skill issue i think

[lofty vault]

Probably

[fringe nebula]

this is orange stake right

[cloud sinew]

almost certainly

[fringe nebula]

?

[lofty vault]

Yep

[quaint stag]

have 3 wild cards i think

[terse dock]

Seed?

[rotund cloud]

Wild card?

[lofty vault]

It's on the death screen

[delicate tide]

Ohhhhh

Thanks

[terse dock]

The enhancement spawned from The Lovers

[fringe nebula]

red deck?

[quaint stag]

yeah you can find them in card packs or using the lover tarot

[lofty vault]

Yeah

[delicate tide]

It’s right there

[terse dock]

I'm not typing that out

[delicate tide]

In the ss

[lofty vault]

You are going to humiliate me with my own deck aren't you

[cloud sinew]

POPCORN FIRST SHOP, ICE CREAM 2ND SHOP, DUO 2ND SHOP OF ANTE 2

what are u SAYING

[rotund cloud]

It might be called another thing on my Language

[earnest pelican]

9QTP5N35

There

[quaint stag]

what language do you play balatro in

[fringe nebula]

it feels so weird to actually have 3 discards wtf

[delicate tide]

Yo I’m so smart I knew it was ice cream in that ss

[lost vault]

meow :]

[lofty vault]

i may be stupid

[terse dock]

he took the pack and couldn't afford the corn

[covert steeple]

How are my fellow Balatro enthusiasts doing today?

[fringe nebula]

i got too used playing non-red deck lol

[terse dock]

vro got caught not playing yellow deck 💔

[quaint stag]

wild cards look like this @rotund cloud

[rotund cloud]

Portuguese

[rotund cloud]

Oh

[lofty vault]

The pack has the blueprint

[terse dock]

Yeah

I know

[rotund cloud]

In my Language It called Joker suit card

[cloud sinew]

they still couldve taken the ice cream, which they did, then taken the duo in the 2nd shop of ante 2

[quaint stag]

"Carta Naipe Curinga" the wiki says

[terse dock]

yeah

[lofty vault]

I needed this thing called MONEY

[terse dock]

He probably tried to pair too early

[terse dock]

You should've had money

[rotund cloud]

Yeah that joker Suit card

[lofty vault]

Was 4 bucks short

[cloud sinew]

theres no way you couldnt afford duo in the 2nd shop of ante 2 unless you spent stupidly

[quaint stag]

if you find Os Amantes in tarot packs you can make wild cards

[terse dock]

You had 3 shops in between the cream and the duo

You misplayed

[cloud sinew]

you get a minimum of $9 from the big blind and boss blind

[rotund cloud]

I know

Lovers

[fresh pebble]

I got 500 but I kinda cheated it was on anaglyph endless

[quaint stag]

yeah you need 3 to get smeared

[fresh pebble]

But I'm pround of myself I struggle on money

[lofty vault]

Was looking for something LIKE THE DUO in reroles

[rotund cloud]

I Just need 3?

[lofty vault]

I can't see the future

[cloud sinew]

WHY DID YOU REROLL

[quaint stag]

yeah just 3

[lofty vault]

Stuff

[terse dock]

YOU HAD $7 WHY DID YOU REROLL

[fresh pebble]

Why would you reroll on shop one

[rotund cloud]

Ok i Will try

[fresh pebble]

[lofty vault]

Stuff

[cloud sinew]

YOU COULDNT AFFORD

ANYTHING BESIDES JIMBO

OR SPLASH I GUESS

[lofty vault]

STUFF

[cloud sinew]

you played so poorly

[terse dock]

NOT EVEN THAT SPLASH IS $3

[lofty vault]

Well Jimbo would've been good

[rotund cloud]

How do You get a brainstorm

[earnest pelican]

I'm gonna play this seed

[lofty vault]

Discard a royal flush

[terse dock]

Discard a royal flush

[lofty vault]

This person is lying

[rotund cloud]

Never Did that

[rotund cloud]

How do You get It then

[terse dock]

Farm it on checkered deck

[fresh pebble]

That's how you get brain storm is it not

[terse dock]

That guy was lying about me lying

[lofty vault]

Discard a royal flush

[rotund cloud]

How You get that one

[fringe nebula]

@lofty vault

[terse dock]

Win with black deck

[lofty vault]

What's that

[rotund cloud]

Oh

[covert steeple]

Best option here?

[terse dock]

You could also get lucky

[rotund cloud]

Im on green

[fringe nebula]

same seed you played

[lofty vault]

And you have more information than me

[rotund cloud]

Nice bottle

[fringe nebula]

LOL taking eternal egg was worth it

[covert steeple]

Thanks

[fringe nebula]

wdym i did it blind

[terse dock]

The problem isnt information the problem is that you misplayed

[fresh pebble]

Arcarn or nothing I would think

[fringe nebula]

i didn't check this chat while doing this lmao

[terse dock]

Empress go next

[lofty vault]

Seed was too good so I threw

[rotund cloud]

Once got a negative blueprint Still lost in ante 3

[earnest pelican]

on gold stake that negative Blueprint at the start was a rental so I didn't even bother taking it lol

that's actually bait that time

[terse dock]

Dont fish react me you fool

[terse dock]

Free -$3

[terse dock]

Dont fish react me you fool

[earnest pelican]

the Popcorn and Ice Cream were also rental

lmao

[rotund cloud]

What is the best deck

[terse dock]

Yellow and blue

[rotund cloud]

How

[earnest pelican]

The boring answer that's true is that there's no best deck, depends on what you like to do

but Yellow and Ghost are my fave

[fresh pebble]

Anaglyph and ghost I like

[terse dock]

Yellow is really good short term econ and blue is safety and long term econ

[fresh pebble]

Anaglyph is just a win more deck

[delicate tide]

I played the seed

[rotund cloud]

I thought It was a single deck

[delicate tide]

It was lowkey fun

[terse dock]

They're tied

[delicate tide]

There was an immolate

[cloud sinew]

if you like to win then blue and yellow are the best

[fresh pebble]

Anaglyph won't really change how you play

[rotund cloud]

Yellow good

[edgy stone]

Best deck for winning or endless?

[rotund cloud]

Win

[fresh pebble]

But it will make you win more if your winning

[cloud sinew]

i dont think so

[covert steeple]

OK, new run because I lost to the Pillar. I have 12 bucks

[terse dock]

They're tied in my heart because im biased toward blue deck

[covert steeple]

I was thinking Throwback and the Buffoon Pack

[delicate tide]

Lowk yellow prolly better cause early games are usually where you die but blue is also pretty good

[cloud sinew]

why would you take throwback

[rotund cloud]

Yellow is the Only one that i Got on green stake

[delicate tide]

Abandoned and ghost share 3rd

[vivid warren]

We're cookin'.

[terse dock]

Just the pack

[delicate tide]

Imo

[cloud sinew]

ghost isnt even top 5 for me

[edgy stone]

So I think Abandoned

[delicate tide]

😔

[heady narwhal]

ghost is more fun than powerful imo

[covert steeple]

I skipped straight to the boss blind in Ante 1, so its already x1.5

[cloud sinew]

WHY

[rotund cloud]

How do You get that one

[terse dock]

Ghost is the most fun but sometimes it does nothing

[heady narwhal]

the spectrals don't even always show up in the shop

[delicate tide]

Lowk I only play ghost deck

[covert steeple]

Good question

[delicate tide]

I’m prolly the most consistent witj it

[rotund cloud]

And what it does

[cloud sinew]

that definitely inflates your opinion of it

[terse dock]

Removes face cards

[delicate tide]

It would never !!!!!

[heady narwhal]

how good is zodiac deck

[delicate tide]

O like zodiac tok

Too

[terse dock]

Its up there

[cloud sinew]

#4 imo

blue, yellow, abandoned, zodiac

[delicate tide]

Yeah the tarots are great

[heady narwhal]

makes sense

[cloud sinew]

you get more jokers, more tarots, more planets

and the ones you get are better because they block each other more often

[fringe nebula]

and we win

[edgy stone]

Reduce deck size, easy for straight, four kind

[delicate tide]

Yo did you not find the burnt

[lofty vault]

Took the bones you coward

[fresh pebble]

Any tips on my nanif trys

[delicate tide]

Never used

Sooo

[rotund cloud]

How Many card are left

[fresh pebble]

I got a good run but I didn't have enough red seals

[covert steeple]

For context, the Buffoon Pack had either Raised Fist or Baseball Card from the boss blind

[fresh pebble]

My biggest mistake

[cloud sinew]

it's not cowardice to be safe

[terse dock]

Cowardice is quite the boorish term for intelligence

[lofty vault]

But loud and dumb

[edgy stone]

Remove 12 face cards

[fringe nebula]

??????????

[fresh pebble]

Was not remembering to reroll or change suits

[terse dock]

40

[fresh pebble]

That's on me I love endless attempts

[fiery nymph]

round 1 buffoon do i take hack or hallu

[terse dock]

Hallu

[cloud sinew]

hack i think

[lofty vault]

Mime

[fiery nymph]

1-1

[cloud sinew]

youre not really going to be taking many packs

[fiery nymph]

i like both lots

[cloud sinew]

at least you shouldnt be in the early game

[stone shell]

i would take hallu

i like tarots

[heavy heron]

tarots 🤤

[heady narwhal]

abandoned is basically +30% value from every enhancement and seal

[lofty vault]

Open all of them

[fiery nymph]

hmmm

i guess ill do hallu

[terse dock]

Take hack and spec for fib actually

[fiery nymph]

i just have to find money

[heady narwhal]

(plus all the other stuff)

[fiery nymph]

hmm

ill take the hack actually

sounds fun

[covert steeple]

Is Obelisk worth it in Ante 2, or do I take a Mars card?

Or Seed Money

[lofty vault]

Ob is meh early

[fiery nymph]

i mean

if you can hold that ob

[covert steeple]

Lowkey want Seed Money

[cloud sinew]

if anything obelisk, but probably none of them

[cloud sinew]

you arent even at max interest

[covert steeple]

Fair

[edgy stone]

Free win

[lofty vault]

If you can play a lot of low level hands then pivot halfway then ob is good

[fringe nebula]

absolutely

[manic talon]

obelisk is free if you dont skip and play your rounds

[fringe nebula]

obelisk gives a clear gameplan

[fiery nymph]

take the ob

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[covert steeple]

Took the ob

[fiery nymph]

its so easy if you can plan a pivot

[lofty vault]

"skip" who does that besides new players

Unless it's double or voucher or investment

Then it's a consideration

[terse dock]

Aj runs

[cloud sinew]

a lot of people surprisingly

[covert steeple]

OK

[lofty vault]

Riff Raff it

Might get a free photochad

[fiery nymph]

everyone should skip because its a free negative!!!!!

[edgy stone]

I'll skip for not reset hand

[fringe nebula]

please get a runner

[cloud sinew]

you shouldnt be putting yourself in that situation in the first place

[lofty vault]

The negative being 8ball when you already turned most of your deck into kings

[covert steeple]

Juggler and Swashbuckler from the Riff Raff

[lofty vault]

Decent

[fiery nymph]

negative credit card

[lofty vault]

I mean

[fiery nymph]

specifically a negative credit card when you are using a bull

[lyric karma]

Thats so clever

[fiery nymph]

boom

[lofty vault]

Negative gift card and pirate when

[lyric karma]

how didnt i thought about it

[covert steeple]

Sold Swashbuckler and got Gros Michel next round

[manic talon]

the one who asked for obelisk just skipped the whole of ante 1, thats why i add the "if you play your rounds"

[covert steeple]

This is true, I did do that

[edgy stone]

Be sure you have enough score to carry Obelisk

[fiery nymph]

green joker and delayed grat first roundddd

[lofty vault]

Grimbo is amazing and I'm sorry for not using more

[fiery nymph]

im on blue deck too

[exotic orchid]

Ezpz challenge. Should have banned hologram for this challenge lol.

[lofty vault]

The farming is gonna be nuts

[manic talon]

on red deck you would get an extra 2 dollars per round, smh

[lofty vault]

What challenge

[fiery nymph]

im gonna try and use all my hands

[lofty vault]

Medusa?

[fiery nymph]

yeah that would be good too

[exotic orchid]

Medusa

[lofty vault]

Oooo

[covert steeple]

Lowkey tempted to switch Riff Raff for Hallucination

Since it's holo

[lofty vault]

Maybe even marble

I'ma try Medusa

[fiery nymph]

11 mult grimbo ante 2

[lofty vault]

Oh I already beat Medusa

Well time for 5 card draw

[manic talon]

all the challenges are dumb fun and easy, except for the last 3 where 1 is awful, 1 is boring, and 1 is actually a good challenge for once

[exotic orchid]

Ye. Most challenge are not really a challenge. Would love doing these on gold stake.

[cloud sinew]

5 card draw is ridiculously easy

its just a white stake lobotomy tutorial with extra joker slots

[manic talon]

5 card draw starting with jimbo and card sharp for no reason

[lofty vault]

If +mult is supposed to be left of xmults then why is it that in 5 card draw Jimbo is to the right of card sharp? Explain that liberals

[rancid gull]

5th BD++ win

Wait wrong image

whoops

[lofty vault]

Hello chicot

[lofty vault]

Do it again

[rancid gull]

There we go

that's the actual 5th one

[covert steeple]

UHHHH

Cavendish?

[lofty vault]

Bait

[fiery nymph]

blueprint wow

i guess ill take that

[manic talon]

yea i think an unconditional X3 mult is pretty okay

[covert steeple]

Im just trying to win my first run

Do I sell Hallucination?

[lofty vault]

But the 1 in 15 is what makes it tricky

[lofty vault]

It has holo so ehh

[covert steeple]

Cavendish is 1 in 1k

[cloud sinew]

what 1 in 15 are you talking about

cavendish is 1 in 1000

and gros michel is 1 in 6

[fresh pebble]

Baron and shoot the moon yippee

[lofty vault]

THE FUCK AM I THINKING THEN

[cloud sinew]

thats what im saying

[fresh pebble]

Your not

[lofty vault]

I thought Michel was 15

[cloud sinew]

it's +15

[lofty vault]

What the fuck is 1 in 15 that I'm confusing the potassium with

[fresh pebble]

my mortal enemy

[rancid gull]

the only 1 in 15 i can think of is the money hit from lucky cards

[cloud sinew]

money proc on lucky cards

[lofty vault]

Hack nonbeliever

[lofty vault]

Maybe

[cloud sinew]

my beloved

[manic talon]

1 in 15 cavendish would be hilarious

[cloud sinew]

it's a preparation check

[lofty vault]

How many dice would you need

[cloud sinew]

honestly

[fresh pebble]

Hack hates me

[cloud sinew]

i think michel should be guaranteed on the 6th round, not 1 in 6

[fresh pebble]

Trve

[lofty vault]

Bananas get moldy

[rancid gull]

The pair slop is so real

[cloud sinew]

thats not the reason why it goes away

it goes "extinct"

like the gros michel did*

[rough prairie]

lol, dumb me forgot I took Hieroglyph and miscounted my hands

[fresh pebble]

OH WAIT

I never got thay

LOL

[manic talon]

perishable michel guaranteed to never give cavendish lol

[fresh pebble]

cus gross Michel was a type of banana right?

[lofty vault]

Then cavin which is resistant to the disease showed up but it tastes less banaba

[lofty vault]

No longer exists

[fiery nymph]

holy moly

this run is wild

OBELISK RAHHH

[rough prairie]

Gros Michel still exists in banana flavoring

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt taste less banana, it tastes different banana. ive had both and it tastes similar, it just has a bit of a different flavour profile

[lofty vault]

Disease took em out then new bananas that have less banana chemical

[cloud sinew]

that's not true btw

[lofty vault]

It has less of the banana chemical

[cloud sinew]

the banana flavour isnt what gros michel tastes like

source: ive had one. you can buy some too. it doesnt taste like banana flavour

[lofty vault]

What is banana flavor

[rough prairie]

That's kinda subjective

[fiery nymph]

rahhhhh

[lofty vault]

Describe it in 10 paragraphs

[hidden musk]

blueprint is so satisfying to look at, what a wonderfully designed joker, it's so sleek and the shade of blue is genuinely beautiful

[cloud sinew]

it SMELLS like banana flavour. i bought one because of the hank green video

[lofty vault]

But brainstorm is the only joker with a perfect 90° angle and as someone who studied architecture a 90° angle is the best one

It's the most simple one

Easy math

[cloud sinew]

what you said is still misinformation though

it isnt based on the flavour of gros michel, please find me a primary source that says otherwise

[hidden musk]

why is brainstorm straight 🤔 🤔

[lofty vault]

I miss remembered it

[fiery nymph]

i won the game

[cloud sinew]

cause its a napkin

[fiery nymph]

form ante 4

💔

[rough prairie]

Naah, if I wanted to find primary sources for things I'd have gone into academia

[lofty vault]

Did you balatro all over the place

[manic talon]

brainstorm is not straight, have you seen the images

[fiery nymph]

my highcard is at 27

the rest of my hands are at 6

[lofty vault]

27 what

[cloud sinew]

HIGH CARD?

[fiery nymph]

27 played hands

[cloud sinew]

why were you going high card

[rough prairie]

I just state things and if turns out I'm wrong c'est la vie

[covert steeple]

So I lost in Ante 6

[cloud sinew]

you should avoid doing that

spreading misinformation is cringe

[fallow spade]

what do I remove here for bloodstone

[fiery nymph]

grimbo scaling, this is two pairs

but i get a perfect pivot to ob

[fringe nebula]

none

[cloud sinew]

you should be going for pairs still

[lofty vault]

You know I should probably play the 5 card draw cuz I've been at round 1 for a while now

[fiery nymph]

i also bave that leveled up if you want me too

[fallow spade]

wdym

[cloud sinew]

you have to avoid playing high card with green joker, which sucks

[hidden musk]

if you have any blue seals prolly space?

[cloud sinew]

no

[manic talon]

one of the +multer, or just space joker its ante 7, i assume you already have plenty flush levels

[lofty vault]

Wait hold up 7 joker slots this is just early game ectoplasm but you get Jimbo and sharp

[cloud sinew]

i would drop supernova over space because supernova would proc after the xmult from bloodstone

[fiery nymph]

either way i dont see this losing

[fallow spade]

ahem

[hidden musk]

oh truth

[fallow spade]

I got space joker ante 2

[manic talon]

lol

[fallow spade]

yea

[manic talon]

kill the supernova its not a polychrome

[cloud sinew]

^

[fallow spade]

seems like the best option yea

if only space would proc more

😭

[manic talon]

it happens

[lofty vault]

Ok so the plan is play the entire 5 card hand and see what happens

[fringe nebula]

delgrat and banner get stronger on 5 card draw

[manic talon]

play random bullshit and let card sharp carry

[hidden musk]

is the challenge deck maze solveable

[fringe nebula]

swashbuckler gets stronger on inflation challenge

matador becomes extremely good on double or nothing challenge

[manic talon]

i think someone did that yea

[lofty vault]

Do I keep Jimbo for the entire challenge

[fringe nebula]

up2u

[lofty vault]

I mean I have 7 slots

Guess he can stick around

Alrighty folks take your bet who's he gonna be

[fallow spade]

brainstorm on space on 4 flushes not a single proc on next bind

[fallow spade]

this is crazy

[fresh pebble]

I hate it stoped my nanif run

[hidden musk]

that's pretty sick thx for pulling up the sc

[lyric karma]

glass issue

[fringe nebula]

i love the plant

beating it always feel satisfying

[manic talon]

dont think a late endless plant would be solved with glass

[fresh pebble]

I had baron shoot the moon

[lofty vault]

And that's a wrap folks good challenge it was really difficult

[lyric karma]

the plant is a fraud to me

[fresh pebble]

Early

I tried to pivot to glass

And I just couldn't score high enough

And tried to fine the thingy ma bob

[frank notch]

what do i do

[manic talon]

ante 8 plant is a skill issue, endless plant is usually death

[twin lantern]

Should I replace either lucky cat or even Steven with this misprint? I'm really loving this joker setup, I just need a good chip joker honestly

[lyric karma]

Like, everytime i encountered the plant ive made a non-face cards build

[fresh pebble]

Yeah I think I should have tried to fine more glasses Early on

[vivid warren]

What do I want to replace with Blueprint here, if anything?

[manic talon]

steven can actually give +mult before triboulet so not really

[twin lantern]

I only have 1 lucky card it's not doing much

[hidden musk]

with trib? misprint prolly not worth tbh

[lyric karma]

Photograph

[twin lantern]

Should I just keep what I have right now

[fresh pebble]

Kk I had fun back to books

[fresh pebble]

Acint

[lyric karma]

How much scaled is your hologram?

[fresh pebble]

Since it cycles

[twin lantern]

7.25

[lyric karma]

Hmmm

what about the cat

[vivid warren]

You think I should get rid of Ancient Joker?

[twin lantern]

Cat is x1 because I only have one lucky card, but it is polychrome

[fallow spade]

and I win with a pair on last hand

[lyric karma]

yea, i dont think it is a good idea to sell it

[twin lantern]

I'm just going to keep how it is for now

[fallow spade]

now for golden stake checkered we go

[lyric karma]

which hand are you building

and at what level it is

[fallow spade]

wait

[twin lantern]

Full house and two pair. Two pair level 6, full house level 7

[fallow spade]

theres orange stake still

i forget that exists

[lofty vault]

Chat I used a familiar and it hit a face card and leveled up canio fuck yeah

[lyric karma]

right now i think you dont need +mult

[earnest pelican]

I don't care if it's niche, I love making Flower Pot builds it's my favorite joker by far

[twin lantern]

I need chips

[lyric karma]

and selling lucky cat for misprint is too risky

[lyric karma]

in any case i would sell steven and grab banner

[twin lantern]

I bought glow up voucher and I'm just going to the next blind now I think

[manic talon]

when your goat is washed and you know it

[lyric karma]

what is your highest score

approximated

[lofty vault]

Do I pivot

Burn everything

[lyric karma]

Show deck

And levels

[manic talon]

selling all for a X6 stencil would be funny

[lyric karma]

and canio value

[fringe nebula]

no

just win

[hidden musk]

it would pain your soul to pivot 💔

[lyric karma]

You can keep scaling canio

[lofty vault]

The funny option

[lyric karma]

stop

dont let the intrusive thoughts win dude

[lofty vault]

Alrighty the game rewarded me with a temp for not burning my deck

Oops but wheels still aren't hitting

[hidden musk]

stencil is genuinely immolate but for jokers

[lofty vault]

Madness

Madness is more like familiar

[lyric karma]

yea i was going to say that

[manic talon]

i dont get it but go off queen

[lyric karma]

familiar/grim/incantation

[fiery nymph]

madness is goat

[lofty vault]

Another wheel with opps

Still didn't hit

[dense basalt]

Would it be better to copy sock or the idol

[lyric karma]

Copy idol

more mult

[hidden musk]

would it be sock if bloodstone was a guranteed hit

[fringe nebula]

do i take wasteful for rebate value here

probably yes

[lyric karma]

yea

to me wasteful is a grab always

[lofty vault]

Hello glass joker

[lyric karma]

more discards more chances to get the hand i want

[dense basalt]

Thanks

[lyric karma]

and rebate value

[lofty vault]

All I need now is dna and I can just print glass cards to shatter for canio and glass

[manic talon]

it would be, yea, but otherwise its idol copy

[lyric karma]

perkeo hanged forget

✅

[fiery nymph]

obelisk is such a good card bro

[lofty vault]

Damn a double glass break

[lyric karma]

Tasty

[lofty vault]

Invisible

[dense basalt]

My glass breaks would kill me😭

[lofty vault]

Also a paintbrush

5 card draw? More like 6 card draw

Why is paintbrush allowed

Who dies

Invisible is active

Honestly I might just be able to brute force the boss

[twin lantern]

Dice

Ante 8 u dont need it

[lofty vault]

I meant for invisible

[dense basalt]

Gg

[twin lantern]

DICE KILL DICE

[manic talon]

let jimbo take the wheel

[lofty vault]

What the hell is 0e53

[lofty vault]

BRAINSTORM

[manic talon]

its that easy

always gamble you WILL WIN

[earnest pelican]

Just got a Perkeo and then in the very next shop got Observatory

[earnest pelican]

gg

[lofty vault]

I'ma go endless

[peak crest]

that’s

interesting

[lofty vault]

Good morning pallet

[lofty vault]

Whiteboard

Does banner die for trading card

Surely I don't need chips anymore

Ooooo maybe dice

If I cut dice then glass doesn't matter anymore cuz I can just trading card them

[dense basalt]

Polychrome invis from rare skip

[earnest pelican]

rare 5 gold sticker run

[lofty vault]

Bloodstone

After I sold the dice

Oh well wasn't gonna take it anyways

[quartz salmon]

As an inexperienced player this makes me very sad

[dense basalt]

After the 4th eternal wouldnt you think it would be time to stop

[manic talon]

non perishable challenge at home

[quartz salmon]

I mean I knew I would win the run so I didn’t think it was gonna be a problem

[manic talon]

the build doesnt lose to verdant leaf so why not

[lofty vault]

So I used a judgment

Pareidolia

[dense basalt]

Ultimate canio synergy

[lofty vault]

I gambled and it paid off
